THE ALL SEEING EYE.

VISION, SAYS THE REV. DR. TALMAGE, 18 THE CREATOR'S MASTERPIECE.

Snt the Eye of God Is More Indescribably Wonderful, Searching and Overwhelmtfif—An Extremely Eloquent and Instructive Discourse—Sight Restored.

NEW YORK, July 28.—Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is still absent on his summer preaching tour in the. west and southwest, has prepared for today a sermon on "The All Seeing,!' the text selected being Psalm xciv, 9, "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?"

The imperial organ of the human system is the eye. All up and down the Bible God honors it, extols it, illustrates "5 If1 it or arraigns it. Five hundred and thir|k ty-four times it is mentioned in the jg:

Bible. Omnipresence-—"the eyes of the •, $ Lord are in every place." Divine dare— "as the apple of the eye." The clouds —"the eyelids of the morning." Irreverence—"the eye that mocketh at its father." Pride—"Oh, how lofty are their eyes!" Inattention—"the fool's eye in the ends of the earth.'' Divine inspection—"wheelsfullof eyes." Suddenness—"in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump.'' Olivetic sermon—'' the light of the body is the eye." This morning's text—"He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The surgeons, the doctors, the anatomists and the physiologists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human face, but the vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great masterpieces of the Lord God Almighty. If God had lacked anything of infinite wisdom, he would have failed in creating the human eye. We wander through the earth trying to see wonderful sights, but the most wonderful sight that we ever see is not so wonderful as the instruments through which we see it.

It has been a strange thing to me for 40 years that some scientist with enough eloquence and magnetism did not go through the country with illustrated lectures on canvas 80 feet square to startle and thrill and overwhelm Christendom with the marvels of the human eye. We want the eye taken from all its technicalities, and some one who «hall lay aside all talk about the pterygomaxillary fissures, and the sclerotica, And the chiasm a of the optic nerve, and in common parlance which you and I and everybody can understand present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our origin is and what we were. Oh, if some one should come forth from the dissecting table and from the classroom of the tiniversity and take the platform, and asking the help of the Creator, demonstrate the wonders of what we are!

If I refer to the physiological facts suggested by the former part of my text it is only to bring out in a plainer way the theological lessons at the latter pai of my text, "He that formed the eye, shall lie not see?" I suppose my text referred to the human eye, since it excels all others in structure and in adaptation. The eyes of fish and reptiles and moles and bats are very simple things, •because they have not much to do. There are insects with 100 eyes, but the 100 eyes have less faculty than the human •eyes. The black beetle swimming the summer pond has two eyes under water and two eyes above the water, but the four iosectile are not equal to the tw human. Man, placed at the head of an living creatures, must have supreme equipment, while the blind fish in the

Mammoth cave of Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology for the eye, which, if through some crevice of the mountain they should get into the sunlight, might be developed into positive eyesight. In the first chapter of Genesis we find that God, without any consultation, created the light, created the trees, created the fish, created the fowl, but when he was about to make man he called ?, convention of divinity, as though to imply that all the powers of Godhead^we^ to be enlisteZ Jn

the achievement. "Let us make man." Put a whole ton of emphasis on that word "us." "Let us make man.'' And if God called a convention of dill vinity to create man I think the two great questions in that conference were how to create a soul and how to ma1"i an appropriate window for that emperor to look out of.

Structure of the Eye.

See how God honored the eye before he created it. Ho cried, until chaos was irradiated with the utterance, "Le« there be light!" In other words, before lie introduced man into this temple of the world he illuminated it, prepared ft for the eyesight. And so, after the last human eye has been destroyed jn the final demolition of thq world, stars are to fall, and the sui^ is to cea&e its shining, and the moon is to turn into blood.

In other words, after the human cyeS are no more to be profited by tlieir:sbining, the chandeliers of heaven are to be tnrnedout. God, to educate and to b.tess and to help the human eye, set in the •f mantel of heaven two lamps—a gold lamp and a silver lamp—the one for the day and the other for the night. To fc show how God honors the eye, look at the two halls built for the residence of the eyes, seven bones making the wall lor each eye, the seven bones curiously wrought together. Kingly palace of ivory fs considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eye qre richer by 00 much as human bone ia more sacred

Hum elephantine tusk* See how God Jbottored the eyes when he made a roof for Ahem, so that the sweat of toil should 'not smart them and the rain dashing against the forehead should not drip into them. The eyebrows not bending over 4he eye, but reaching to the right and to the left, so that the rain and the sweat jbooM be compelled to drop upon the sjlfinV instead of falling into this £iirlMly protected human eyesight. Bee :||0V God honored tliQ feye in the fact _ited by anatomiqtf and physiolothat there are 800 contrivances in eye. For window shutters, the

eyelids opening and closing 88,00( times a day. The eyelashes so construct ed that they have their selection as what shaH be admitted, saying to dust, "Stay out," and saying to light, "Come in." For Inside curtains the iris, or pupil of the eye, according as the light is greater or less, contracting or dilating.

the the

The eye of the ewl is blind in the daytime, the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but the human eye so marvelously constructed can see both by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of God can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye so marvelously constructed has one muscle to lift the eye, and another muscle to lower the eye, and another muscle to roll it to the right, and another muscle to roll it to the left, and another muscle passing through a pulley to turn it round and round—an elaborate gearing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There also is the retina, gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lampwick—passing the visual impression on to the sensorism and on into the souL What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye! The eye, washed by a slow stream of moisture whether we sleep or wake, rolling imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nostril. A contrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun, 95,000,000 miles away, and the point of a pin. Telescope and microscope in the same contrivance. The astronomer swings and moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right focus. The.microscopist moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the magnifying glass until it is prepared to do its work, but the human eye, without a touch, beholds the star and the smallest insect. The traveler among the Alps, with one glance taking in Mont Blanc and the face of his watch to see whether he has time to climb it.

The Tear Glands.

Oh, this wonderful camera obscura which you and I carry about with us, so today we can take in our friends, so from the top of Mount Washington we can take in New England, so at night we can sweep into our vision the constellations from horizon to horizon. So delicate, so semi-infinite, and yet the light coming 95,000,000 of miles at the rate of 200,000 miles a second is obliged to halt at the gate of the eye, waiting for admission until the portcullis be lifted. Something hurled 95,000,000 of miles and striking an instrument which has not the agitation of even winking under the power of the stroke 1 There also is the merciful arrangement of thetear gland, by which the eye is washed, and from which rolls the tide which brings the relief that comes in tears when some bereavement or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augmentation of sorrow, but the breaking up of the arctic of frozen grief in the warm gulf stream of consolation. Incapacity to weep is madness or death. Thank God for the tear glands, and that the crystal gates are so easily opened. Oh, the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of the human eye! Divinely constructed vision Two lighthouses at the harbor of the immortal soul, under the shining ef •which the world sails in and drops anchor! What an anthem of praise to God is the human eye The tongue is speechless and a clumsy instrument of expression as compared with it. Have you not seen it flash with indignation, or kindle with enthusiasm, or expand with devotion, ^or melt with sympathy, or stare with fright, or leer with villainy, or droop with sadness, or pale with envy, or fire with revenge, or twinkle with mirth, or beam with love? It is tragedy and comedy and pastoral and lyric in turn. Have you not seen its uplifted brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contraction of pain? If the eye say one thing and the lips say another thing, you believe the eye rather than the lips.

The eyes of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of thei.\* sermon. George Whitefield enthralled great assemblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Martin Luther turned his great eye on an assassin who came to take his life, and the villain, fled. Under the glance of the human eye the tiger, with five times a man's strength,, snarls back into tho African, jungles But those best appreciate the .value of the eye who have lost it. The Emperor. Adrian by accideut put out .the eye of his servant, and he said,to his :SerV&rit "What shall I pay you in money or.in lands? Anything you ask-me# "X am'(so sorry I put your eye out." But the servant refused to put any financial estimate on the value of tho eye, and• when, the' emperor urged and urged agaiii.the matter he said, "Oh, emperor, I Wapt noth-. ing but my lost eye!" Alas for those fdir'Whom a thick and impenetrable veil is drawn across the face of -the heavens and the face of one's own kindred. That was apathetic scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night and was found passing along the highway, and some one said, "Why do you canj that torch, when you can't see?" "Ah," said hq, "I can't see, but I carry this torch that others may see me and pity my helplessness, and not run me down.'' Samson, the giant, with his eyes put out by the Philistines, is more helpless than the enjallest dwarf with vision undamaged.' All the sympathies of Christ were stirred when he saw Bartimeus with darkened retina, and the only salve he ever made that we read of was a mixture of dust and saliva and a prayer, with which he cured, the eves of a man blind from his nativity. The value of the eye is shown as much by its catastrophe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for 80 years has not seen the sun rise. Ask the man who for half a century has not

the Bartimeus who

nerer met a Christ or the man born blind who is to die blind. Ask hinju This morning, in my imperfect way. I have only hinted at the splendosft^the glories, the wonders, the divine revelations, the apocalypses of the ha'mfui eye, and I stagger back from tHe awful portals of the physiologic! miracle which must havejbaxed the ingenuity of a God, te cry out in your ears the words of my text, "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Shall Herschel not know as much as his telescope? Shall Fraunhofer not know as much as his spectroscope? Bhall Swammerdan not know as much as his microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its master? "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?"

Wonders'of Vision*

The recoil of this question is tremendous. We stand at the center of a vast circumference of observation. No privacy. On us, eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of archangel, eyes of God. We may not be able to see the habitants of other worlds, but perhaps they maybe able to see us. We have hot optical instruments enough to descry them perhaps they have optical instruments strong enough to descry us. The mole cannot see the eagle mid sky, but the eagle mid sky can see the mole mid grass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world, but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our cities, the flash of our seas, the marching of our processions, the white robes of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies.

It passes out from the guess into the positive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come as convoy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? But human inspection, and angelic inspection, and stellar inspection, and lunar inspection, and solar inspection are tame compared with the thought of divine inspection. "You con verted me 20 years ago," said a black man to my father. "How so?" said my father. "Twenty years ago," said the other, "in the old schoolhouse prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said in your prayer, 'Thou, God, seest me,' and I had no peace under the eye of God until I became a Christian." Hear it. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place." "His eyelids try the children of men." "His eyes were as a flame of fire." "I

will guide thee with mine

eye." Oh, the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, so full of indignation, so full of compassion, so full of mercy! How it peers through the darkness! How it outshines the day! How it glares upon the offender How it beams on the penitent soul! Talk about the human eye as being indescribably wonderful How much more wonderlal the great, searching, overwhelming eye of God! All eternity past and all eternity to come on that retina.

A Searching Glare.

The eyes with which we look into each other's face today suggest it. It stands written twice on your face and twice on mine, unless through casualty one or both have been obliterated. "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Oh, the eye of God! It sees our serrows to assuage them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them, sees our wants to sympathize with them. If we fight him back, the eye of an antagonist. If we ask his grace, the eye of an everlasting friend. You often find in a book or manuscript a star calling your attention to a footnote or explanation. That star the printer calls an asterisk. But all the stars of the night are asterisks calling your attention to God—an all observing God. Our every nerve a divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every bono sculptured with divine suggestion. Our every eye a reflection of the divine eye. God above us, and God beneath us, and God before us, and God behind us, and God within us.

What a stupendous thing to live! What a stupendous thing to die! No such thing as hidden transgression. A dramatic advocate in olden times, at night in a courtroom, persuaded of the innocence of his client charged with murder and of the guilt of the witness who was trying to swear the poor man's life away—that advocate took up two bright lamps and thrust them close up to the face of the witness and cried, "May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, behold the murderer!" and the man, piratically under that awful glare, confessed that he was the criminal instead of the man arraigned at the bar. Oh,, my, friends, our most hidden sin is under, a brighter light than that. It is nnJer the burning eye of God. He is not .a blind giant stumbling through the heavens. .He is not a blind monarch feeling for the step of his chariot.' Are you wronged? He sees it. .Are you poor? He sees it.' Have you domestic perturbation of Which the world knows nothing? He sees it. "Oh," you say, "my affairs arp so insignificant I can't realize that God sees me and sees my affairs.'' Can you Sjge the point of a pin? Can you see the eye of a needle? Can you see a mote in the sunbeam And has God given you that power of minute observation, and does' he-not possess it himself? "He that formed the eye,, shall he not see?"

Restored to Sight.

But you say "God is in one wprld and I am 'in another world. He seems so far off front me I don't really think he sees What ingoing on in my life." Caa you .see sun 95,000,000 miles away, and do you. not $hjnk God has as prolonged vision? But you say, "There are phases of my life and there are colors —shades of color—in my annoyances and my vexations that I don't think God can understand." Does not God gather up all the colors and all the shades of color in the rainbowf And do you suppose there is any phase or any shade in your Ufa he has not gathered up in his OW& heart? Besides What I want to tell you it will, soon all be 0v6rj this struggle. That eye of yours, so ?sjuisttely Fashioned and strung, and hinged and «ooftodi'%ill before long be closed in the

last slumber. Loving hands will smooth down the silken fringes. So he giveth his beloved sleep. A legend of St. Frotobert is that his mother was blind, and he was so sorely pitiful for the misfortune that one day in sympathy he kissed her eyes, and by miracle she saw everything. But it is not a legend when I tell yen that all the blind eyes of the Christian dead under the kiss of the resurrection morn shall gloriously open. Oh, what a day that will be for those who went groping through this world under perpetual obscuration, or were dependent on the hand of a friend, or with an uncertain staff felt their way, and for the aged of dim sight about whom it may be said that "they which look out of the windows are darkened" when eternal daybreak comes in! What a beautiful epitaph that was for a tombstone in a European cemetery: "Here reposes in God, Katrina, a saint, 85 years of age and blind. The light was restored to her May 10, 1840."

Kingsley's Place In literature.

Kingsley was a striking example of that which is so characteristic of recent English literature—its strong, practical, social, ethical or theological bent. It is in marked contrast with French literature. Our writers are always using their literary gifts to preach, to teach, to promulgate a new social or religious movement, to reform somebody or something, to illustrate a new doctrine. From first to last Carlyle regarded himself even more as preacher than as artist. So does his follower, Mr. Ruskin. Macaulay seemed to write history in order to prove the immeasurable superiority of the Whig to the Tory, and Froude and Freeman write history to enforce their own moral. Disraeli's novels were the programme of a party and the defense of a cause, and even Dickens and Thackeray plant their knives deep into the social abuse of their time. Charles Kingsley was not a professed novelist nor professed man of letters. He was novelist, poet, essayist and historian almost by accident, or with ulterior aims. Essentially he was a moralist, a preacher, a socialist, a reformer and a theologian.

Without pretending that Kingsley is a great novelist, there are scenes, especially descriptive scenes in"Hypatia," in "Westward Ho!" which belong to the very highest order of literary painting and have hardly any superior in the romances of our era. No romances, except Thackeray's, have the same jsjlow of style in such profusion and variety, and Thackeray himself was no such poet of natural beauty as Charles Kingsley— a poet, be it remembered, who by sheer force of imagination could realize for us landscapes and climates of which he bimsfllf had no sort of experience. Even Scott himself has hardly done this with so vivid a brush.—Frederic Harrison in Forum.

Leather Tires.

Two Frenchmen of Rheims have recently completed an invention which they claim will in a measure revolutionize the present pneumatic tire. They build their wheels by substituting an outer pneumatic tube made of leather for the rubber tubes now in use. Their invention has been taken up by the ministry ©f war, which is now perfecting the idea with a view to supply all the military cycles with tires that will not give out easily.

The resistance of leather is considerably greater than that of rubber, and it will better stand the pressure from within and the exterior agents of destruction, such as nails, hoops, roots or sharp pebbles. It is not absolutely imperforable, but it is at least as good as the fine steel band which was experimentally placed between the outer and inner tubes, and which was pierced by needles and tacks. Leather offers the greatest impenetrability in relation to its thickness without impairing the necessary elasticity. It is further improved by a preparation which renders it impermeable to water. The leather tire is easily repaired in case of perforation— any cobbler can sew it up—and this repair is permanent and not likely to get out of order.

Other advantages claimed for the leather tire are: Greater lightness, it will not get out of shape as does rubber, and it will not slip on asphalt pavement or wet roads. The new material for the tire seems to meet with great encouragement on the part of the military authorities of France.—Paris Nature.

Princess Helene a Favorite.

Princess Helene is an accomplished horsewoman and is very fond of. hunting. She is a beautiful girl, with a fine figure, tall and queenly. Princess Helene has long been a great favorite with our "own royal family, and more especially of the Princess of Wales and Princess Beatrice. At the garden party given at .Sheen House in 1S89 by the Comte and Com esse de Paris to celebrate their silver wedding, Princess Helene was. a lovely girl of 18, with beautiful golden bro^n hair hat has now become some shades darker. The Duo d'Aosta is two years older than his bride, and though not so handsome as she is very good looking and of pleasant, courteous manners. It will be remembered that his father, the late duke, was king of Spain for a few years under the title of Amadeo I.—London News.

How we walk through the world, blind to the commonest things, was illustrated the other day at a summer boarding house.
